broken/missing avatar pictures making postgis page very slow to load

[jive]

The page ​https://www.osgeo.org/projects/postgis/ takes over a min to load, while other projects like grass and geoserver are fine.

When it did finally load the only unusual thing is many profile pictures that are missing / broken. I assume these are trying to display a gravatar picture.

Clicking on one of the links and choosing *copy image address* shows:

https://www.osgeo.org/projects/postgis/%3Cimg%20alt=''%20class='avatar%20avatar-96%20photo'%20height='96'%20width='96'%20src='https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/2844d6a4d646b6af60073445d306935f?size=96&default=mm%27%20srcset=%27https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/2844d6a4d646b6af60073445d306935f?size=96&default=mm%201x,https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/2844d6a4d646b6af60073445d306935f?size=144&default=mm%201.5x,https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/2844d6a4d646b6af60073445d306935f?size=192&default=mm%202x,https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/2844d6a4d646b6af60073445d306935f?size=288&default=mm%203x,https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/2844d6a4d646b6af60073445d306935f?size=384&default=mm%204x%27%3E

This should be a URL.

We can probably skip profiles that do not have a picture.

Is this still a problem ? The page loads quickly for me

I think this was resolved by removing libavatar plugin. though we may add it back now that it's improved.

For reference, the libravatar plugin issue is #2305
